THE REPUBLICAN CASE.

The following statement of dates and facts
connected with the Democratic usurpation
will be found useful:
On Nov. g. 1886, q vacancy existed in the
office of Lieutenant governor of the State,
according to the opinion of the Democratic
Attorney general, and the general acquies-
cence of all the people, and in a general cleo
ton held on that day to fill the Office Robert
S. Robertson received 23l, 800 votes, and John
C. Nelson 229, 603 votes, giving the former
legal majority of 1919 votes.
On Jan. TO- 1887, in obedience to the Con-
stitution, the Speaker of the House published
and declared the said votes in the presence of
members of both houses of the General AS
sembly, and Robert s. Robertson took the
oath of office and was duly installed as Lieu
tenant governor.
Section q of Article of the Constitution
declares that ''the Lieutenant governor shall,
by virtue Of his office, be President of the
Senate"
Lieutenant governor by virtue of an election
as temporary presiding officer of the Senate.
obtained from the Marion County Civil Cir
cult Court a writ Of injunction against Rob-
ertson, whereby the latter was enjoined from
attempting to preside over the Senate as pro-
vided by the Constitution
The Supreme Court, reviewing the case, de-
clared the injunction null and void, and that
Smiths claim, which was in reality contest
for the Lieutenant-governorship. could only
be maintained before the General Assembly
in the manner and form prescribed by law.
The law provides (Sec. 4744 r. So that any
person may, within twenty days after the first
day of session of the Legislature following a
general election, give notice to the Speaker of
the House of proposed contest for any State
office.
No such notice OF contest for the office of
Lieutenant-governor was ever filed with the
office was not contested according to law.
The people, to say the least, had given him a
prima facie title to the Office
On the 23d Of February, 1887, the Senate
declined to receive an official notification OF
the decision of the Supreme Court above re-
| ferred to.
| On the Oath of February the Lieutenant
governor attempted, in an orderly manner, to
take lawful and peaceable possession of the
chair of the Senate, in obedience tc
| the Constitution, but was surrounded
seized, hurled down the steps of the platform
and violently elected from the Senate cham
Der by the Door-keeper, acting under the di
rect and personal orders Of Green Smith, and
aided and abetted by the Democratic Senators
| Under these circumstances the House OIL
Representatives declined to have any Official
communication with the Senate until the
Lieutenant governor was admitted to the
peaceable discharge of his constitutional du
ties as President of the Senate
The Senate refused to permit the Lieuten
ant-governor to preside or even enter the
chamber, forcibly excluding him day after
day, and maintained its illegal and unconsti
tutional attitude, with Green Smith in the
chair. until the end of the session.
